Lakeshore CAP seeks volunteers

Lakeshore Community Action Program, a member of the Manitowoc and Sheboygan County Housing Coalition, is looking for volunteers to assist in conducting the biannual Point-In-Time Street Count in both Manitowoc and Sheboygan counties regarding homeless population.

Communities throughout the United States conduct the Point-In-Time twice annually to gather information about homeless individuals who are staying in places such as parks, abandoned buildings and tents that are not meant for human habitation and who do not have a permanent address.

The information gathered helps agencies from the federal and state government and local agencies working with homeless populations get a better understanding of the true picture of homelessness in communities.

Lakeshore CAP is seeking volunteers for the night of July 29 through the morning of July 30. A mini training session will be at 11:30 p.m. at the Lakeshore CAP offices. Individuals must be 18 or older to volunteer. If interested, call 920-803-6991 or 920-682-3737.
